会話
レジデンス1年6ヶ月と25日目
ライクスのライブラリーで借りた小津安次郎のDVDセットをみます。
実はこれ借りたの4度目です。
ライクスのライブラリーのDVDの品揃えは、アートの施設とは思えないほど貧弱ですが、わざわざレンタルDVDショップに行くのが面倒、それから店のレンタル料が高価(どこも旧作1泊で3.7ユーロ=¥530、新作だと4.5ユーロ=¥650くらい)なので、ついつい同じものを何度も借りてしまいます。
私が小津映画の中で好きなのが、その会話です。
事件やストーリー進行としての会話ではない、ただ淡々と行われるやり取りの心地よさで全体が進んでいくようなあの感じ。家族間でも友人とでもご近所との間でも、猫が人間とのすれ違い様にしっぽをちょっと体に触れさせるような、ああいうリズムで画面運びが行われ、全体が進んでいく感じが何とも心地いいです。
たまに若い原節子が友人とふざけ合うシーンもいいな。じゃれあってる感じで。
そういえば私は野球を見るのがすきですが、自分でやるのではキャッチボールが好きです。
後日談: その日は結局、小津安次郎セットはGalに又貸しし、わたしは借りておいたインドの「マハバラート」という5本組(15時間)セットのDVDをみはじめました。インドの神様とインドの王族を巡る壮大な叙事詩(とかいてある)。 これは叙事詩というより、大好きな昼ドラをみている気分になったわ。
A Dialogue
I’ve borrowed Yasujiro Ozu DVD set from the library.
This is my fourth time.
The collection of DVD at Rijks is surprisingly small as an art institution, but as I am too lazy to visit the rental DVD shop, and also as it is too expensive (€3.7=¥530 for a night, €4.5=¥650 for a new work), I ended up borrowing the same DVD from the library.
What I like about Ozu’s film is the dialogue.
A dialogue neither to dramatize the scene nor to carry out the plot... but it is the dialogue – never extraordinary exchange of words – between members of family, between neighbours, between friends that carry out the film. The dialogue makes the rhythm of Ozu’s film – a very pleasing rhythm – something like... a cat touches a person very lightly with its tail in passing.
I also like the scenes where young Setsuko Hara larks around with her friends – kind of innocently and playfully.
By the way, I like watching baseball games, but I also like playing catch.
A sequel to the story:
I passed this Ozu DVD set to Gal, and started to watch an Indian film Mahabharat (also from the library, 5 DVDs – 15 hours), which (it says) is an epic about a king of India and his royal family.
It was more like watching my favourite lunchtime drama... than watching an epic.
